The one who lays eggs is the female, lol

the fact that one (the female) can reproduce and the other (the male) cant

As a general rule, females are likely to be bigger than the males of the same age. When they reach spawning age, and the eggs begin to mature in the female fish, she will thicken in the ventral area. Females become heavier bodied in the abdomen.

At the same time, the male will start to develop small white tubercles on his gill plates and on the leading rays of his fins called "breeding tubercles", particularly on the first ray of the pectoral fin which can usually be detected on fish with head growth.

The male goldfish are brighter colors, the female duller colors. The sexual organs of fish and amphibians are all inside, no way to tell by sight other than by color.

The ulnar fin, the fin under the body in front of the rear fin, will be smaller in a female, larger in a male

Determining a Goldfish's Gender. It's not easy to tell the male Goldfish from the female Goldfish. Professional breeders can often tell the difference, but it's difficult for them to explain how they do it.

Mature female Goldfish are usually plumper, and mature males have little bumps on their heads, called tubercles, that turn white and are easier to see, when the Goldfish spawn.

Look at the fishes vent, where the poo comes out. If it sticks out a little bit then its a female, if it is flat or goes in a little bit then it's a male.

Here's a site that shows pics of what I'm taking about and gives a few more ways to tell,http://www.bristol-aquarists.org.uk/gold.
